Computers have higher resolutions than most televisions.
As of July 2002[update], 1024 x 768 eXtended Graphics Array was the most common display resolution.[1][2] Many web sites and multimedia products were re-designed from the previous 800 x 600 format to the higher 1024 x 768-optimized layout
The availability of inexpensive LCD monitors has made the 5:4 aspect ratio resolution of 1280 x 1024 more popular for desktop usage. Many computer users including CAD users, graphic artists and video game players run their computers at 1600 x 1200 resolution (UXGA, Ultra-eXtended) or higher if they have the necessary equipment.
Other recently available (Jan 2009) resolutions include oversize aspects like 1400 x 1050 SXGA+ and wide aspects like 1280 x 720 WXGA, 1600 x 768 UWXGA, 1680 x 1050 WSXGA+, and 1920 x 1200 WUXGA.
A new HD resolution of 2560 x 1600 WQXGA has been released mainly in 30" LCD monitors.
Special monitors for medical diagnostic work are using 3280 x 2048 WQSXGA, which is the current maximum resolution available in a single monitor. The most common computer display resolutions are as follows:[3]

When a computer display resolution is set higher than the physical screen resolution, some video drivers make the virtual screen scrollable over the physical screen. Most LCD manufacturers do make note of the panel's native resolution as working in a non-native resolution on LCDs will result in a poorer image, due to dropping of pixels to make the image fit (when using DVI) or insufficient sampling of the analog signal (when using VGA connector).
Few CRT manufacturers will quote the true native resolution since CRTs are analog in nature and can vary their display from as low as 320×200 (emulation of older computers or game consoles) to as high as the internal board will allow, or the image becomes too detailed for the vacuum tube to recreate (i.e. analog blur).
Thus CRTs provide a variability in resolution that LCDs can not provide (LCDs have fixed resolution). ...
In the PC world, the IBM PS/2 VGA and MCGA (multi-color) on-board graphics chips used a non-interlaced (progressive) 640×480×16 color resolution that was easier to read and thus more-useful for office work. It was the standard resolution from 1990 to around 1996.
The standard resolution was 800Ã — 600 until around 2000.
Microsoft Windows XP is designed to run at 800×600 minimum although it is possible to select the original 640à — 480 in the Advanced Settings Window. Linux, FreeBSD, and most Unix variants use the X Window System and can run at any desired resolution as long as the display and video card support it.
